Mansfield Motor Speedway Explore - Before the New Owner Takes Over

Описание: With this Speedway in the news and finally going to see new life again (Purchase by a Forner NASCAR Driver in 2025) I wanted to edit and release this explore early for you all to see. First time we explored this was in August of 2023 with my good ‪@NaomisAdventures‬ after watching an amazing video by ‪@WallieB26‬ in this then abandoned speedway. Second time was with oldest daughter Grace and 1st then Abandoned Location with her. She is my good luck charm and was happy to share this location with her. Hope you enjoy this one and as always Never Stop Exploring and the Journey Continues!!! #motorsport #mansfield #explore #nascar

~History~
The former Mansfield Motorsports Park (known as Mansfield Motorsports Speedway prior to 2007) closed in 2010. With its moderately high banking and a wide racing surface, it was suitable for close racing and passing. The track hosted an ARCA RE/MAX Series race in 2009–2010, and it also hosted the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series from 2004 to 2008.
On January 18, 2013, Grant Milliron of Milliron Industries, a local facility specializing in waste, recycling and scrap metal, purchased the former Mansfield Motorsports Park for $800,000 in an auction held by the Richland County Sheriff's office following the property's seizure by the county in lieu of unpaid property taxes.
For 2017, it was announced that the track would undergo a transition from asphalt to dirt. The track had previously been dirt until 1999. The track name was also changed from "Spitzer Motor Speedway" to "Mansfield Motor Speedway" for 2017.
With the new dirt surface, Mansfield Motor Speedway hosted series like the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions.
The track closed following the 2019 Dirt Million event. Demolition of the grandstands began in late 2020 as portions were donated to a local high school. The track walls were torn down in 2022 and portions of the fencing and SAFER barriers were sold to the Nelson Ledges Racecourse.
On June 1, 2025, former NASCAR driver and team Owner Matt Tifft announced he had purchased the facility and plans to rebuild the track.
